the old post office (today’s Fullerton Hotel)—a
host of intriguing structures. From here you are
within easy walking distance of the Esplanade Art
Center, the Merlion Statue (symbol of Singapore)
and the Boat Quay, where you can pause for lunch.
I strongly recommend that you go to Little India,
whose colors and food make it a world apart. Here
you will suddenly feel that you are walking down
an avenue in India. Most of the country’s
Indian population live in this district, which with
its shops selling colorful silk saris, its tasty
Indian dishes and sweets, its ethnic jewelry, friendly
salespeople and small Indian temples offers a totally
unexpected atmosphere to the Sinapore visitor.
AN ELECTRONICS HEAVEN
In Singapore you can buy every sort of electronic
product at the most reasonable prices. To shop for
these products, including computers, visit the nearby
Sim Lim Tower and Sim Lim Square.
